Folks,
I am on a prepaid account and I am so sick of my carrier sending me a
notification after each call, each sms or each 3G session! Is there a
way to disable this? This can NOT be done through notifications or by
editing settings under HKCU\ControlPanel\Notifications\
This gets especially annoying when you are rapidly firing off txt
messages in succession because the pop-up effectively hinders your
ability to do this quickly and effectively. An example of this
carrier notification is when you send a command with *646* to T-Mobile
and it comes back with the numbers of minutes you have remaining on
your current plan. That is user-driven, of course, so it is not a
problem. The issue is with carrier-based notifications that are
automatic. I have called my provider to no avail. They claim this
cannot be turned off in their system (TOTALLY not true or all pre-paid
systems in the world would have this problem).
Thanks in advance.
Yup, I can confirm this is the case in India too!. This notification seems to be triggered by USSD service in the OS or whatever. Unfortunately, no success in turning it off.
Man, this is horrible, it is really killing the joy of using my Kaiser. If any of you super dev studs have any idea, please let us know. There just HAS to be a way! Nothing the gurus here can't manage.
Is there any way to have the fuze give an alert whenever there's no signal? Any tweak or program? Been searching everywhere but can't seem to find anything.
I've noticed that my signal appears to be boosted when I send a text message. I would like to know if anyone else has the same thing happen!? Is it possible to use a similar concept for increasing data speeds by boosting the signal? I assume that the power is being boosted to the antenna in order to send the message then being decreased when the text has been sent. Does anyone have any information about what is going on? I've looked and haven't been able to find an answer.
This bug occurs on all Froyo roms (I tested it on:CM6, geo411m, evil, enomther, modaco and Google stock rom)
When I'm in a area with 0 signal (It means I cannot do any call) the signal status bar displays 2 or 3 levels, incorrectly.
I checked it on about 6 existing Froyo roms, on my Nexus One device and this bug occurs on all roms, includes the google official stock rom.
Please see the attched screenshot.
We tested it on some different nexus devices and it occurs on all these devices. My device version is Nexus One version: 110 (AT&T version).
Here is the screenshot of the bug:

I opened a new bug about it for Google, but can any developer fix it?
Here is the bug I opened for Google:
***** (I cannot add the link because my account is new :/ )
bug number:11346
Can you(the members of the forum also mark the bug with star, in order to promote the priority of the bug?
It's absolutely impossible to work with an OS that displays a wrong signal status. You never know if you really have signal or not :/
I backed to 2.1 because this bug.
Thanks to all.

I think this is more radio then ROM related, and I don't have this problem on my Nexus one. No signal=0 bars.
But you could try to flash the so called Korean radio(see Nexus android development forum ), to see if that changes anything.
Hello Robert
That is normal even in old phones. It is not a bug!!!
That signal strengh is real and correct.
The explanation is simple, when your SIM card can not reach to any of the base stations (antennas) of your provider, we generally say that you lost the signal and you can not make any calls. BUT for emergency purposes, your phone connects to the strongest available antenna of other providers (again, only when you can not reach the ones from your provider) to allow you to make emergency calls. That is why (at least in europe) when we lose the signal of our phones, usually in 95% of the cases it will still say "Only emergency calls 112 allowed".
So the signal bars you get are in reallity the signal bars of the antenna you are connected to make emergency calls. So no bug and actually it is useful, it would make no good if you try to disable that.
You will not get any bars for the signal when you are not even able to make emergency calls.

Hi Bulltza,
Thank you very much for this detailed answer...I checked it and you right...
I still think this is not a good feature because when I am in a area with no signal and I see that there is some levels in the status bar, it confuse me and I don't know that I cannot get incomming calls.
anyway thank you for the answer.
YoMark, thank you too for your help
Its not really a bug man They only should add a icon or a notification for Emergency Calls Only. If u dont want this feature u are veryr stupid Emergency Calls! We need them

What's the relation to be stupid or not?!
It seems that you are the stupid here that didn't understand what I mean and call me stupid!!!!!
Did I write anywhere that I don't want the Emergency Call?!?! I wrote that it is impossible to work with an OS where you see that you "have signal" but in actual you don't know that you cannot get incomming calls.
Learn to understand and give respect to your colleagues instead calling them stupid and other!
Hello to all
I would like to ask for a help. When I switch on the WiFi, I get a popup with available networks. Problem is, that I can not see all the networks, becouse between the text I have big "spaces" like on the picture. I tryed to search for this problem, but with no result. (On WM 6.1, I did not have this problem)
Does anyone know how to fix it please?
